Westco Corporation developed a new lawn tractor and tested it in a variety of situations. Following two weeks of intense testing, 1 out of the 5 tractors were found to have minor operating problems, while 1 out of 20 tractors needed significant repairs. Given these results, the company moved production of the lawn tractor forward.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports Westco's decision to begin production of this lawn tractor?
(A) Previous Westco tractors, tested over two weeks in 2005 and 2009, had far worse results and had to be remodeled.
(B) The intensity of the testing conditions means that a tractor with 19/20 of its machines functioning after two weeks is suitably durable for the market.
(C) Consumers expect that their lawns will never offer the difficult conditions encountered in the two-week test.
(D) Most models of lawn tractors at Westco engage in testing of anywhere from two to four weeks.
(E) The significant repairs required by 1 out of 20 of the tractors were primarily due to engine overheating.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
(B) It does not matter what the cause of the repairs was or what the customer expectations are if the intensity of testing was such that a result of 19/20 of machines in functioning condition is suitably viable for the market.

Westco Corporation developed a new lawn tractor, whose test results are found to have a minor problem for 1 out of the 5 tractors and some repair work on 1 out of 20 tractors. Given these results, the company moved production of the lawn tractor forward.
The reason why company send further instructions for manufacturing of tractors might be because there is no such significant defaults in machinery.
We have to find an option which testifies in favor of
Manufacturing of tractors.
(A) Previous Westco tractors, tested over two weeks in 2005 and 2009, had far worse results and had to be remodeled. (We have to find a positive point that why should the company manufactur such if they have significant bad outlay. This option is not justifying why company should continue manufacturing this model) (Incorrect)
(B) The intensity of the testing conditions means that a tractor with 19/20 of its machines functioning after two weeks is suitably durable for the market.(if the remaining tractors 19/20 are quiet durable for market use. The company will definitely go ahead with current model than spending more time and Efforts to remodel it into another model again) (Correct)
(C) Consumers expect that their lawns will never offer the difficult conditions encountered in the two-week test.(The models are not manufactured considering the testing duration stability of tractor but for the actual use even after testing period) (Incorrect)
(D) Most models of lawn tractors at Westco engage in testing of anywhere from two to four weeks.(Not specifying why the company should manufacture model and not considering remodelling) (Incorrect)
(E) The significant repairs required by 1 out of 20 of the tractors were primarily due to engine overheating.(Engine Overheating is not among the stated problems faced during testing, the problem is increasing the error scope leading to company rejecting model, which is wrong)
